UK Special Forces Task Group

by

Description:
This pack contains 4 addons wich are based on retexture of BI's Delta Force, Czech and German special forces units, meant to rapresent UK Special Forces SAS and SBS units (both in lightweight patrol gear and heavy assault gear), units from the Special Forces Support Group in assault gear, UK Special operation units for Artic Warfare and the famous Counter Revolutionary Warfare Team, with their blue suite-black equipment fashion.

The SAS-SBS units wear multicam and MTP uniforms with some brown-coyote jackets, while SFSG units wear full MTP uniforms, this should give to all the units the possibility to operate in pretty much all different types of environments, from desert to woodland areas, plus a complete set of artic warfare SF units wich allow missions in artic and snow covered environments.

In the editor You'll find SAS-SBS CQB units too, the CRW team , wearing blue suites, black equipment and balaclavas, you'll find also a multicam\black version of those guys under "urban SAS-SBS" for CQB\hostage rescue operation in desert or woodland open fields.

The pack should add to BAF faction the missing Special Forces component, improving the range of UK operations in all BI and user made islands in every environment.

Those addons add UK special forces SAS-SBS and SFSG units, You'll find them in the editor under BAF faction divided by the following classes:

- UKSF Support Group: those are units from the SFSG made by 1st Para and Royal Marines Commando, their task is to support SAS and SBS operation.
You'll find them in assault gear with full MTP uniforms in order to be deployed everywhere needed, the pack add 28 units that cover all different SOF unit roles, included snipers in ghillie suite both desert and woodland, there are also 9 different groups ready to be deployed in the editor.(pbo: "mas_uk_sfsg")

- UKSF Assault SAS-SBS: Those are SAS-SBS units in heavy assault gear wearing a mix of multicam/MTP/coyote stuff, good both in desert and woodland environment, ideal for direct actions. The addon adds 17 units and 5 groups.(pbo: "mas_uk_sftg")

- UKSF Patrol SAS-SBS: Those are SAS-SBS units in lighweight gear wearing a mix of multicam/MTP/coyote stuff, good both in desert and woodland environment, ideal for long range patrol missions; inside You'll find also snipers, marksmans and spotters in three different ghillie suite camos (desert, woodland and multicam). The addon adds 25 units and 8 groups.(pbo: "mas_uk_sftg")

- UKSF Urban SAS-SBS: Those are SAS-SBS units in heavy assault gear wearing a mix of multicam/MTP/coyote stuff and black top plus balaclavas, good both in desert and woodland environment, ideal for high risk clearing ops and hostage situations. The addon adds 16 units and 4 groups.(pbo: "mas_uk_sftg")

I decided to put them in 4 different addons cause this way You can choose to install all of them or just the ones You prefer, due the fact that the 4 ddons are completely independent each other.

Features:
- Units are equipped with M4s, G36s and have their own specific loadout.
- Wide variety of roles that cover from LRRP, Direct Action to CQB tasks.
- All environments ghillie suite units, multicam/MTP camouflage and winter/artic version make those units deployable pretty much everywhere in all BI and usermade islands.
- Every unit has is own set of groups, based on type and task of the unit.
- New "Engineer" ability for the sapper , and all the other units can hide bodies and use explosives.
- Featured content rucksacks , with UK DPM, black, multicam and artic camouflage versions.
- Optional ACE config with ACEX gear and weapons with very specific loadout, including ACE "AI talk" module support.
- 1 Replacement file that replace standard BI US delta force models with the SAS-SBS Assault ones (Graves included).
- All the models HAVE WORKING WOUND TEXTURES.
- All signatures files v2.

Installation:
As we always recommend use modfolders to seperate the custom content from the official game content to prevent problems. For different ways to set up your modfolders and use them please visit our FAQ.

When you are using the Steam version you can find a Steam mod installation and activation FAQ here.

ACE2 config files Installation:
Just put the ACE2 Optional Configs (called "mas_uk_sfsg_ace.pbo","mas_uk_sftg_ace.pbo","mas_uk_sfwa_ace.pbo" and "mas_uk_sfwg_ace.pbo") in the modfolder of your preference and You'll find in the editor only the UKSF ACE classes.
This config DO NOT replace original UKSF units, instead it only "hide" them in the editor by setting them as "protected", I did in this way in order to get the maximum compatibility and to avoid changing classnames of the units (for mix makers).
As for the normal addon you can choose wheter to use all 4 addons or just 1 or 2/3 of them, just remember that if You're using an ACE config replacement You'll need the respective addon .pbo too.

Units and settings are the same as for standard UKSF, but they're all equipped with ACEX gear (Balaclava , Gas Mask, earplugs and handcuffs) and weapons (ACEX M4s, plus spotters have rangefiders and kestrel 4500, demo expert uses ACEX explosives like M18 and C4, CQB units like breacher and MP5 operator have tear gas and flashbangs, some others WP and incendiary grenades...).

Units use "English" if Ace AI Talk is enabled.
Units and Groups are the same as for vanilla game, as following: Bluefor - BAF - UKSF...(ACE) (sorted by different type)
You'll find groups also under: Bluefor - BAF - UKSF...(ACE) (sorted by different type).

Just put the replacement file ("mas_uk_sftg_repl.pbo") in the mod folder of your preference and You'll see delta units models replaced by SAS-SBS ones, included Graves heavy/light version too.
That shuold give the campaign a different feeling.
